Dale Preacher
Archetype: Human Former Preacher
Dale and his brothers were once hardcore
preaches of the Baptist faith until somebody decided to detonate a bomb in their
church, killing just about everybody, and causing the brothers to acquire a new
purpose: That of tracking down the bombers.
To say they’ve had little luck with this endeavor would be an understatement.
They have no idea how to interact with people outside of the church environment,
how to search for information, or how to fight in a strategic fashion.
This would make them a pretty weak foe if it wasn’t for the fact that each
has so much cyberware in them they’re a datajack away from being zombies.
How they acquired the money for such ware is unknown, but some believe
it actually came in as donations from the families of people who were killed
in the explosion.
So what do they do? Mainly just hang out in bars and try to communicate
with street types. Unfortunately they have the social skills of cabbages
so little is getting done. Occasionally somebody will pick them up and
pay them a few bucks for guard duty and give the brothers some sort of
dead end information regarding the bombers.
Max Preacher
Archetype: Human Former Preacher
Max is the only brother who is making
any concerted effort to learn how to use the numerous pieces of metal he has
inside of him. He’s also managed to pick up a few social skills but rarely has a
chance to use them effectively before his older brother, Dale, chimes in with a
statement that makes them all look like idiots. It’s getting so bad that he’s
considering abandoning the rest of his brothers in order to pursue the bomber on
his own.
Stan Preacher
Archetype: Human Former Preacher
Stan wasn’t especially pleased at the prospect of getting cyberware and, now that he has it, he’s about nuts from the effects it
has had on his mind. Usually he just sits around, staring at a cyber arm,
and shouting “No! I will not give you oil!”. Sometimes his own brothers
have to sedate him when he tries to rip his wired reflexes out with his
steel fingernails.
Henry Preacher
Archetype: Human Former Preacher
Henry thinks they all should just go back, rebuild the
church, and get on with preaching. At his request, all of the cyberware
installed in him was head and memoryware which he has utilized to memorize
just about every piece of religious literature thus turning him into a
finely tuned, and rather annoying, preaching machine. If the group ever
gets into a fight he usually just stands back and recites a passage from
the bible explaining why they shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing followed
by another passage from the bible that JUSTIFIES what they’re doing until
finally he gets into an intense, and audible, argument with himself over
why he is and is not committing an act of blasphemy.
